We have had peace between the greater powers of Europe for a long time, I'll give them that, but when the gates of hell opened up in the former Yugoslavia the union were busy measuring cucumbers. Credit should be given for the peace in Western/Central Europe but I'm not sure the European Union is the one to give it to.
I'm not opposed to a European Union, but the one we have today is just broken. They put countries with completely different economies in the same pot and act surprised when the result is a poisonous stew.
It sucks that the Noble price is used like this. I'm sure that there are plenty of people/orginisations out there working for peace that deserves this price much more than the European Union.
